Ep6 • Small Vs Large Ring Gauge Cigars… Explained

Send us Fan Mail{Stereo Audio + Re-upload}Skinny cigars have a reputation for “purity,” and big ring gauges get labeled as a trend. We want to cut through the noise and talk about what actually happens when thick Nicaraguan tobacco meets a small circumference. From the factory floor to the farms, we’ve seen how leaf texture, airflow, and burn temperature can make the difference between a cool, flavorful smoke and a tight draw that turns sharp and hot.We dig into why Nicaraguan tobacco grows so thick and oily, how water and sun affect the leaf, and why that richness often needs more surface space to perform. We also connect the dots to classic Cuban and Dominican sizes and explain why thinner formats can be easier when the tobacco itself is thinner. Then we get practical: what we consider small ring gauge vs large ring gauge, why 46 to 60 often delivers the best balance, and why the wrapper leaf contributes real flavor but nowhere near the “70%” myth.If you like a smaller mouthfeel, we cover smart compromises that keep blend complexity intact, including torpedo cigars, belicosos, and box-pressed cigars that feel slimmer while still burning like a bigger ring gauge should. If you care about value, we also explain why larger formats can deliver more of the blend without forcing you to pay double.Subscribe for more cigar education from our day-to-day work in tobacco and manufacturing, share this with a friend who argues ring gauge, and leave a review telling us what size you reach for most.#perdomocigars #perdomoarmy   #PERDOMOPlease leave your comments below and we will answer your most pressing questions related to Perdomo Cigars.PERDOMO GEAR: https://httpslink.com/PerdomoGearPERDOMO WEBSITE: https://httpslink.com/PerdomoCigars  — — —FACEBOOK:  https://httpslink.com/PerdomoFacebookFACEBOOK GROUP: https://httpslink.com/FacebookGroupINSTAGRAM: https://httpslink.com/PerdomoInstagramX: https://x.com/perdomocigarsMust be 21 and up to purchase tobacco in the United States. Cigars are not a safe alternative to cigarettes.Support the showVisit PerdomoPodcast.com
